Apple announcing new streaming service - 6/8

You HAVE to think Apple will address what they will pay music creators today when they announce their new streaming service. It seems like a very "Apple" strategy to come out and claim they're "solving" the problem. And honestly, I trust Apple to do the right thing much more than other companies...not because they're benevolent, but because they have the funds to do it...It's a win/win situation for them - come out and say "we're doubling pay for creators" and no doubt you will when the public's trust - and business. Right now, with the Apple-owned service Beats, a writer has to have 43,000 plays a month to earn a monthly minimum wage. One Spotify, it's nearly 1,000,000.
So - here's to Apple dominating the market.
